To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. ROSE, of the city and county of' Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, haveiinvented a new and useful Improvement in Sleeve or Gulf Buttons; and I do hereby declare that the following specification, taken in connection with the drawings making a part of thesame,

is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

The present invention relates to an improvement in sleeve or cuff buttons for fastening Tthe sleeve or cuff together, also, at the same time, securing itself to the sleeve or cufl'.

The object of my invention is to construct a button that can be easily and securely at tached to a sleeve or cuff.

in the drawing represents thebody of the button; B, the hook which is secured to the body A; 0, the hook that issecured to the flat spring-bar D, which can be revolved around the hook B, in a plane. parallel with the bottom of the body A, and'which is preventedfromlvaryin g from said planeby means .of the shoulder G, which is constructed on thehook B. E represents a convex catch projecting from the: body A, over which the bar D is sprung, and secured by means of a cavity in said bar, which cavity fits oversaid catch, when the hooks B and G are closed'td gether. F represents thesleeve or cufi.

The operation of my invention is as follows 1 The bar D is sprung from the catch E,and

turned around the hook B one-half of a revog lution, to the position shown in Fig.2. The

hooks B and G are then severally inserted in to the button-holes of the sleeveor cuff which is to be fastened together. The next operation is to turn the bodyAof the button with its hook B one-half of a revolution in a plane parallel with the bottom of the button, which operation brings the points of the hooks together, and secures them by means of the catch E, and also fastens the sleeve or cuff together,

asshown in Fig. 1.

Having thus. described my improvement,

what I claim as my invention, and desire to have secured to me. by Letters Patent, is I The combination substantially as set forth,
